correct date is the date which written today on this forum post)
"He said that the kingdoms in Indonesia had governed their
people using the rules of Islamic law. Even when attacked by
colonizers from Europe. The example he showed was when the
leader of the Mataram Kingdom, Raden Amangkurat even defended
the Dutch colonialists, the people he led continued to fight
against the colonialists, [b]together with against their leader
also. (It means him, Raden Amangkurat) And they continue to
fight because they remain obedient and obedient to the rules of
Islamic law.[/b] And they built the Al-Fattah Islamic Boarding
School, located in Magetan City, East Java Province, which has
survived and is still around for hundreds of years today.
Because it taught salafi teachings, the leader of the Islamic
Madrasa and his students supported the Grand Imam Habib Rizieq
bin Hussein bin Shihab, and wanted the rules of Islamic shari'ah
to be applied to the Indonesian people."
For the details. The king whom Noor Imansyah refer is Raden
Amangkurat I. And this is the brief history from the article
website about how Raden Amangkurat I betrayed the entire
Nusantarans.

> "Since the beginning of his reign, Amangkurat I made an
agreement with the VOC that essentially Mataram had to recognize
the VOC's political power in Batavia. Every year, the VOC also
sent envoys to Mataram, who in the end interfered in the
kingdom's political affairs.
>
> Gradually, the territory of the kingdom narrowed due to the
annexation carried out by the Dutch in return for its
intervention in the conflict among the royal family.
>
> Therefore, it is not wrong to call the reign of Amangkurat I
the beginning of the decline of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom.
>
> The displeasure of the people and palace officials peaked when
the king was found to be hostile to his own son, Pangeran
Adipati Anom.
>
> Trunojoyo Rebellion
>
> The Trunojoyo Rebellion After tragedy after tragedy occurred,
the people began to fear and form antipathy.
>
> As a result, the people of Mataram fought against King
Amangkurat I under the leadership of Prince Trunojoyo of Madura,
who also had the support of court officials. Entering 1677,
Prince Trunojoyo had captured the Plered Palace and Amangkurat I
was forced to leave for Cirebon to ask for help from the VOC.
>
> Prince Adipati Anom and Prince Trunojoyo, who were previously
allies, got into conflict.
>
> This made Prince Trunojoyo not hand over power to him as
previously agreed. As a result, Prince Adipati Anom chose to
switch to his father's side.

> In his flight to ask the VOC for help, Amangkurat I fell ill
and died in Wanayasa (Banyumas) on 10 July 1677."

--- Quote ---
> The Trunajaya rebellion (also spelled Trunojoyo; Indonesian:
Pemberontakan Trunajaya) or Trunajaya War was the ultimately
unsuccessful rebellion waged by the Madurese prince Trunajaya
and fighters from Makassar against the Mataram Sultanate and its
Dutch East India Company (VOC) supporters in Java (in modern-day
Indonesia) during the 1670s.
>
> The rebellion was initially successful: the rebels defeated
the royal army at Gegodog (1676), captured most of the Javanese
north coast, and took the Mataram capital Plered (1677). King
Amangkurat I died during the retreat of the royal court. His son
and successor, Amangkurat II, requested help from the VOC in
exchange for financial remuneration and geopolitical
concessions. The VOC's subsequent involvement turned the tide of
the war. VOC and Mataram forces expelled Trunajaya from
Surabaya, recovered lost territories and overran his new capital
at Kediri (1678). However, the rebellion continued until the
capture of Trunajaya at the end of 1679, and the defeat, death,
or surrender of the other rebel leaders (1679–1680). Trunajaya
was killed by Amangkurat II personally in 1680 while a prisoner
of the VOC.

> Amangkurat I took the throne of Mataram in 1646, succeeding
Sultan Agung, who had expanded Mataram's realm to include most
of Central and East Java, as well as a few overseas vassals in
southern Sumatra and Borneo.[8] The early years of Amangkurat's
reign were marked by executions and massacres against his
political enemies. In response to the failed coup attempt of his
brother Pangeran Alit, he ordered massacres of Islamic men who
he believed were complicit in Alit's rebellion.[9] Alit himself
was killed during the failed coup.[9] In 1659 Amangkurat
suspected that Pangeran Pekik, his father-in-law and the son of
the conquered Duke of Surabaya who lived at the Mataram court
after Surabaya's defeat, was leading a conspiracy against his
life.[10] He ordered Pekik and his relatives killed.[10] This
massacre of East Java's most important princely house created a
rift between Amangkurat and his East Javanese subjects and
caused a conflict with his son, the crown prince (later
Amangkurat II), who was also Pekik's grandson.[10] Over the next
few years, Amangkurat carried out a number of additional
killings against members of the nobility who had lost his
trust.[10]
>
> Raden Trunajaya (also spelled Trunojoyo) was a descendant of
the rulers of Madura, who was forced to live in the Mataram
court after Madura's defeat and annexation by Mataram in
1624.[11] After his father was executed by Amangkurat I in 1656,
he left the court, moved to Kajoran, and married the daughter of
Raden Kajoran, the head of the ruling family there.[12][11] The
Kajoran family was an ancient family of clerics and was related
by marriage to the royal family.[12] Raden Kajoran was alarmed
at the brutality of Amangkurat I's rule, including executions of
noblemen at court.[11] In 1670 Kajoran introduced his son-in-law
Trunajaya to the crown prince, who had recently been banished by
the king due to a scandal, and the two forged a friendship that
included a mutual dislike of Amangkurat.[11] In 1671 Trunajaya
returned to Madura, where he used the crown prince's support to
defeat the local governor and become the master of Madura.[13]

>
> The taking of Makassar by the VOC in 1669 caused emigration of
Makassarese fighters to Java, many of which would later join the
rebels' side.
> Makassar was the principal trading center east of Java.[13]
After the 1669 VOC victory over the Gowa Sultanate in the
Makassar War, bands of Makassarese soldiers fled Makassar to
seek their fortune elsewhere.[13] Initially, they settled in
territories of the Banten Sultanate, but in 1674 they were
expelled, and turned to piracy, raiding coastal towns in Java
and Nusa Tenggara.[13] The Mataram crown prince later allowed
them to settle in Demung, a village in the eastern salient of
Java.[13] In 1675 an additional band of Makassarese fighters and
pirates arrived in Demung led by the Kraeng of Galesong.[13]
These Makassarese itinerant fighters would later join the
rebellion as Trunajaya's allies.[12]

> Africans share strong historic ties with Turkey as the Ottoman
Empire, its predecessor state, not only recruited tens of
thousands of Africans into its army but also employed a large
number of them in both the royal court and palace.
>
> In the last few decades, as wars, conflicts, famines and
chronic poverty have driven tens of thousands of Africans out of
their home countries and pushed them to seek a new life in
Western countries, Turkey has become their gateway to Europe.
Over the years, the country has offered them such opportunities
that a large number of Africans have given up on their European
dream and settled down in several Turkish cities.
>
> Apart from the teeming population of African immigrants in
Turkey, there's a 40,000-strong population of African-Turks
whose ancestry can be traced back to the Ottoman era.

>
> Contrary to the popular notion, the African eunuchs who worked
for the Ottoman state were not castrated since the practice is
forbidden in Islam. As per many historical accounts, Africans
were generally castrated by slave traders who later sold them to
the Ottoman rank and file. Once enrolled in the palace, they
were sent to schools and universities for formal education.
>
> The bright ones were provided scholarships for further
education. While many were recruited in the Ottoman court and
palace, many others served in the military.
>
> At one point in Ottoman history, white eunuchs wielded too
much power and engaged in corruption. The Sultans therefore
turned to black eunuchs toward the end of the 16th Century. One
of the main reasons for this preference was based on the fact
that African eunuchs were distant, away from their blood
relations, which made them immune to corruption and conspiracy.
Their lives largely depended on the welfare of the sultan, while
the sultan himself needed their assistance for a range of daily
logistics. (My comments: this forum's great replacement theory
is already practiced ever by the caliphate. There are many
ethical benefits on replacement. But the rightist don't want it)
>
> At a time when slavery was largely accepted in the Western
world, the Ottoman Empire opposed it, especially the Atlantic
slave trade to the United states, the Caribbean and Central and
South America, where slaves generally worked in agricultural
fields and coal mines. In Istanbul, however, Africans had access
to power corridors of the Ottoman Empire as they worked with the
imperial elite.
>
> In Turkey today, African-Turks still exist in various cities.
Their story is even older than the country's foundation.
According to some estimates, their forefathers came freely as
part of conquering armies while others were brought to Turkey as
slaves.
>
> One of the African-Turks Sukru Seze from Izmir’s Naime Village
told TRT World in 2018 that he has never questioned his roots.

difference,” he said.

> While contemporary observers noted the weak position of the
Ottoman Empire at the 1884 Berlin Conference, Minawi argues that
Ottoman statesmen took these agreements very seriously. In fact,
he argues that they closely followed the legal terms of the
conference in order to claim parts of Sub-Saharan Africa as the
“hinterland” of their remaining North Africa provinces.
Likewise, they tried to hold their European competitors in
Africa, such as France and Britain, to these terms in order to
stop the contraction of their empire. In this way, they used
these new agreements to assert their sovereign position on the
world stage.
>
> However, as Minawi also notes, Ottoman activities in Africa
went beyond formal claims. They sought to establish telegraph
lines and other political and cultural connections with the
local Sanusi order in order to lay claim to a tangible presence
on the ground. Here, Minawi notes the potential dangers of
labeling the Ottomans as another colonial power, because their
strategies differed markedly from those of some of their
European contemporaries. Rather than asserting themselves as the
rightful and hegemonic rules of a borderlands region, they
represented themselves to their local interlocutors as
alternative allies to the otherwise impeding arrival of European
colonial rule.

Arabia and the Coastal region ranging from Somali to South

> Existence of Bûsaîd Kingdom strengthing from Oman to Zanzibar
in Indian Ocean had been a way of salvation fort he Muslims of
the region. Ottoman Empire improved relations with this Kingdom
especially in the second half of the 19th century.10 Sultan of
Zanzibar Seyyid Ali Bin Hamud (1902-1911) came to Ýstanbul and
had talked to Sultan Abdulhamid II. He was welcomed in Istanbul
at utmost level and he was given accompaniments.

> Today one of the historical events that is known both in
Turkey and South Africa is the appointment of Ebubekir Efendi by
the Sultan from Ýstanbul for the Muslims of South Africa on
exclusive mission. Achievements of Ebubekir Efendi were not
confined to South Africa. The Ottoman Empire even planned to
find scholars like him and to send them to Europe. But it was
really difficult to find scholars who has the same enthusiasm he
had. Even while he was alive people knew his achievements but
plans of finding another person like him was not realized.
European colonialist states were afraid of Ottoman Empire’s
appointments of scholars like Ebubekir Efendi to various parts
of Africa. Diplomatic missions of some special ambassadors such
as Sadik el-Mueyyed Pasha who was sent to Etiopia and Libya by
Sultan Abdulhamid II, had been followed closely by the European
embassies in those countries. Sadýk el-Müeyyed Pasha like
Ebubekir Efendi was not satisfied with going for diplomatic
missions but he also wrote what he observed and experienced and
compiled these as a book.

> Piri Reis provides a lot of valuable information about Comoros
Islands in his book called Kitâb-ý Bahriye. But unfortunately
Ottoman intelligentsia didn’t follow the path he opened as it
deserves. There had been some times that even the top level
state bureaucrats became ignorant of information he provided.
Comoros Islands wanted to inform Istanbul when the French
started to colonize their land in 1840s. Sultan of Anjouan whose
island was not colonized by the French caused the local people
suffer and tormented too much in cooperation with the British
consul. Those of local people who wanted to inform Istanbul of
what was going on first send two of their princes to London to
complain the consul. Ottoman ambassador in London welcomed them,
paid much attention, paid for all of their expenses in London
and informed Istanbul of their visit. They were welcomed
perfectly when they got Ýstanbul and they were paid salaries as
long as they stayed in the Sultan’s palace. The thing that
surprised two princes was that many of the Ottoman authorities
were not aware of their countries. In short this shows us that
the information Piri Reis provided 300 years ago has just been
left aside.14

Sultan is worth appreciation. They were so devoted and felt

> Muslims living in Island of Indian Oceans from Mauritius and
Madagascar contacted newly formed Turkish government in Ankara
in the last days of Ottoman Empire. So the help was mutual not
unilateral, Ottoman Empire helped African in the past and
Africans also helped Ottomans. Muslims from Mauritius helped
Ottomans after the war between Ottomans and Russians in 1877.
Moreover, in 1920s they collected some amount of money among
themselves and sent to Ankara government after the national
independence struggle was won. During the first campaigns for
collecting aid a person who was in the position of head of
Muslims had had written all the aid to the Ottoman consul. He
also wanted to salute his people on national days in Ottoman
clothes and demanded from Istanbul to send necessary things. All
the things he demanded were sent to him immediately. In the
documents about the people of these islands we can see the
pictures of elite of the society wearing Ottoman clothes on
important occasions. Head of the Muslims in Mauritius wrote a
letter personally to Sultan Abdulhamid II and expressed their
situation

> Muslims of Mauritius and Madagascar exerted much effort to
send the aid they collected to Ankara. They started campaigns
for collecting aid for Turks waging war against Europeans and
sent the collected aid to a magazine, Echos de l’Orient,
published in Paris. The magazine announced to its readers the
name of people who donated and what is donated.

in the 16th century. During this time the Ottomans had
established their dominance in the Indian Ocean where Portuguese
were beginning to challenge not only the Ottomans in the region
but also the Somali Empire of Ajuran. Mogadhisu became a target
of Portuguese ambition. As a reaction to the Portuguese threat,
the Ajuran strengthen its relations with the Ottoman Empire in
Istanbul, both parties established military pact to collectively
thwart the Portuguese threat in the Indian Ocean. As a result,
the marine forces of Ajuran and the Ottoman navy organized
common expedition to break the Portuguese blockades of the
coastal town of the Indian Ocean. This cooperation reached its
peak in 1580s during Mayor Ali Bey's command of the Turkish
fleet in Indian Ocean. When a Somali-Turkish expedition was sent
as far as Southeast Asia.
